Comments for A Month of Lettershttp://lettermo.com
A simple challenge. In February, mail one item through the post every day it runs. Answer every letter you receive.Tue, 03 Mar 2015 15:36:33 +0000hourly1http://wordpress.org/?v=4.1.1Comment on The final day of the Month of Letters Challenge! by Barbara Rohrerhttp://lettermo.com/2015/02/the-final-day-of-the-month-of-letters-challenge/comment-page-1/#comment-160799

Love the idea of recycling catalog pages, as @jcparkins does so beautifully. Her blogs are inspiring and helpful with tips; her recommendations for reliable envelope adhesive are very useful.

Tue, 03 Mar 2015 15:24:50 +0000http://lettermo.com/?p=24887#comment-160795I sent out 62 pieces of mail during February – letters, postcards, a couple of greetings cards and a few were Postcrossing cards. I’ve developed a new vice too – washi tape. It’s a step up from last year’s last-minute flower and butterfly stickers By mid-month I was making my own stickers and some of the envelopes – I love making envelopes, I discovered, and really hope they’ve all survived their journeys. Next year I’ll get organised in advance and have stationery ready. It’s also ther first time ever I’ve gone through a whole refill for my favourite pen within a month! And yes, I’m carrying on for the rest of the year – Lettermo has really been an inspiration!

Tue, 03 Mar 2015 15:03:15 +0000http://lettermo.com/?p=21435#comment-160790I like Touchnote a lot, it’s intuitive and easy and when there was a glitch their support team got back to me promptly and helpfully. My only minor gripe is that the font is quite large and I’d really like to have a choice of two sizes so that I can cram a bit more on if I want to. I’ve started to use it a lot for sending family cards – you can make greetings cards too – and it’s great to be able to send recent photos. You can buy packages of credits so it gets cheaper the more you buy.

I was going to say, there is one caveat that I hadn’t thought about when I started using it – that some people are, quite reasonably, unhappy for their address to be given to a third party – but I’ve just realised that @PostMuse covered it already. I wouldn’t use it again for non-family without checking first, which rather detracts from its usefuleness.

Mon, 02 Mar 2015 16:10:13 +0000http://lettermo.com/?p=16326#comment-160460I tried it and wasn’t over impressed – the line isn’t dark enough for me and it feels like writing with a soft (3B ish) pencil that is ready to be sharpened.

Not sure it will be replacing my FPs anytime soon

Mon, 02 Mar 2015 16:05:42 +0000http://lettermo.com/?p=24887#comment-160459I managed 36 letters including replies – and I still have a good few replies to go (plus any in transit).

I’ve enjoyed the process and will continue to respond to any letters I receive, I’m hoping that at least some of the exchanges will be one regular ones.

Being honest I didn’t manage to write a letter everyday, occasionally life got in the way but I’m pleased how much I managed to do in total

Mon, 02 Mar 2015 14:37:11 +0000http://lettermo.com/?p=24887#comment-160434First-timer thoughts: So happy with the wonderful new pen friendships developing from this challenge! While I didn’t send out mail Every.Single.Post Day in February, I did carefully compose more than 40 letters and postcards for 18 participants and received replies from nine thoughtful and engaging writers (so far). I’ve developed a new vice (postage stamps), absorbed creative paper art tips and ideas, re-purposed files and supplies that were languishing in drawers and other forgotten places, and best of all, realized that instead of dashing out a daily journal entry that fails to inspire anyone (including me!), I can write a letter or postcard message that puts some sunshine in someone else’s mailbox.

Thank you very much for creating and supporting this adventure!
